It was also described that children with autism showed a preference for proximal stimuli including touch, smell and taste as opposed to the distal aspects such as auditory and vision [10,11]. Abnormal sensory behaviors have been recently proposed for inclusion among diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder in the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, version 5 (DSM-V) [12,13]. Auditory abnormalities tend to be particularly evident among all the modalities in- cluding not only hyposensitivity to auditory stimuli but also hyperacusia [12,14,15]. Data derived from children with autism spectrum disorder showed that these children had more problems in responding to voice or their names being called than the developmental delay group [6]. The authors suggested that such abnormalities might be dis- tinguishing symptoms of autism (spectrum disorders) that should be considered for inclusion in diag- nostic algo- rithms for young children. Although major advances have been made in under- standing and identifying the core symptoms in children with autism over the past two decades, research characte- rizing the auditory profiles of children with autism re- mains limited.
